I’m telling on you!! Mommy, Mommy (insert Government) someone is breaking the rules! Somebody has to stop them from expressing themselves freely!!!!!! If you are offended then just move along. Strangely enough your elders clearly recall a time when being told to “Butt Out” was all that needed...

We will walk that road with you as best we can. Thoughts and prayers…

That response was unnecessary. You’ll do better showing some respect.

Then buy one and report back about your results.

You sound angry. Isn’t this just a discussion? As @VinceMule pointed out these things crop up from time to time. Take a breath.

Have y’all ever heard of “clickers?” The entire line of PRC cartridges suffers from them. ITS BECAUSE THE TOLERANCES ARE TOO TIGHT! The good news is Alex Wheeler has reamers to solve the problem. My old school 7mm Practical can beat up your 7-PRC! I’ll meet you behind the bleachers.

I don’t know about bore sizing but Nathan turned mine down to match my barrel. Excellent device. I hope all is well with him.

My plan was (is) to pre-seat to my current CBTO and gradually seat deeper. I will take the advice to set it up and try it out at home first. Unfortunately the range I use for long distances doesn’t have any facilities to set up anything indoors. I’m curious to see if I can duplicate the results...

Varget runs much slower with 77’s in my rifles. None of them bolt actions. This is a general statement and be advised that it may not work in your rifle but it seems 24grs of just about anything works well with this grain weight bullet in a wylde chamber. You won’t get 3000+ fps though. I run...

I’m looking to possibly use one of these things to test bullet seating depth at distance. I want to avoid disassembling loads that fail given the cost and availability of components. My thoughts are that I could start at a depth longer than needed and systematically seat deeper. I’m looking to...

I stand corrected. Hopefully I don’t receive the ire of the OP for entertaining your post (not that I care really).

There is considerable research demonstrating that very good and sustainable accuracy can be obtained by jumping the bullet. Some of this is detailed on the Precision Rifle Blog. As far as what the Bench Rest folks are doing; I thank them for pushing the limits, but I doubt mine or your rifle...

I don’t have to, It’s in the math. Power factor is an easy calculation. Nothing wrong with your choice, do what makes you happy. You were the one expressing doubt. I’m sure everything will work out fine for you.

I was replying to an earlier post. Read it through again. You’ll be fine with a 25cm. I can’t see any advantage over a 6.5cm. One or two clicks either way won’t make any difference. Plus if your 25 fails to make PF you are screwed. With 6.5 you can always fall back on factory ammo. I shot IPSC...

6mm doesn’t qualify for any class beyond the skills division. Correct me if I’m wrong but 3200 fps is also a limiting factor. Too bad, .243 has been a great deer cartridge, especially now with faster twists and heavier bullets. Whitetail have been the number 1 animal hunted in the USA for a long...
